katastrofa: I would imagine that such an ultra-hipster activity as "documenting a bike build" should only be done using a vintage rangefinder film Leica.

"Yake Documenting a bike build is not some "ultra-hipster activity".How about you define the words you use.Apparently you already know what an "ultra-hipster activity" is because you stated a bike build is not some "ultra-hipster activity".

I thought I once understood battery performance. a good battery was one that is able to provide peak performance (or as close as possible to peak) to the very end of it's life thus dying out rapidly at that point. a poor battery was one that provides peak performance only when new and steadily decreases as it ages thus likely having a longer life span but being less and less useful as time goes on.so what battery does Apple choose to use?

Ruy Penalva: Panasonic try to imitate Sony A9 launch with an inferior but cheap camera. Even the number 9 was used. Why nine? My experience with GH4 tell me this kind of camera is like a toy, bad. Like A9, it is a camera to still shooters! Photojournalism??? Let's make a requiem to this launch.

Ruy,the previous models are G5, G6, G7, G8...what would you have named this new model?

Barty L: Tried installing via the 'Adobe Application Manager', which updated itself to become a portal to 'Adobe Creative Cloud'. When I clicked on 'Installed Apps' the only options visible were 'Classic CC' and 'CC (2015)', neither of which I own (much less want to "upgrade" to).

So I tried again from within Lightroom (V6.12) itself, using the 'Check for updates' option under the Help menu. Guess what? Exactly the same window with exactly the same undesired result happens.

Turns out it's possible to download the V6.13 update 'manually' which I've done using a link provided by a poster on another site. The update horror stories have already begun though (uninstalls your standalone version if you're not careful), so I'm going to leave it another week before running the update, just to see what other 'surprises' may be in store.

Counldn't resist the opportunity for one last kick in the teeth eh Adobe?

Scary...I got the 'Adobe App manager' v6.13 pop up too.thought WTH...why not?I started the download then cruised over to DPR to kill some time... I read your thread and thought oh oh!!!..what's going to happen when I click "Finish"?nothing bad happened to me though...LR is now 6.13...no issues that I am aware of.

zeratulmrye: hmm...$1200 is quite expensive for a 90mmF2.4 but this one seems acceptable. The bokeh is very creamy, which is something you wouldn't find on both FE85 or Batis 85. LoCA is not the best in this class but surely better than FE85. Still, it's hard to ignore that FE85 is only $600 and 2/3 stops faster.

vscd@Paul AuclairIt's all about light.

The shutterspeed of the fullframe is 4 times longer, but the ISO is 4 times cleaner. Got it? You can't compare ISO800 on MFT with ISO800 on FF, so the exposuretime is not as important as you may think.'I got it all right thanks.I've been using FF Sony for a few years now and I also use m4/3. i know about ISO and agree with yours and everyone's assessment of the cleaner ISOs of FF.However, with both FF AND m4/3 I still prefer NOT to boost ISO from base unless I absolutely have to.when a m4/3 1.2 (at 1.2) lens gives me hand-holdable speed AND required DoF the same FF f/1.2 combo will not. I will have to sacrifice IQ (ISO) or IQ (motion blur) to get the same with FF...no?and as far as ISO noise goes when do we see noise...pixel peeping. how much noise do we see in prints or at web size?

vscd "you can stop down the fullframe by 2 stops to have the same amount of light on the sensor."not sure what you are saying there.but do explain what happens to the shutter speed of a FF camera (and/or ISO...your choice) when one closes a lens down by 2 stops.

"Expect the Unexpected"if the consensus is correct then presently the 'expected' is a clip on lens and the 'unexpected' is an actual camera.if we are told to expect the unexpected, which is a camera, then that now makes the camera the expected and a clip lens is the unexpected.so if only a clip on lens materializes we will have in fact received the 'unexpected' from Yashica?
